I like it even though I'm not an artsy photographer and don't know that much about seeing into a photo like this but I do notice the red and how brilliant it is. The pedestrians in the back add to the life of the photo, the leg showing is a plus and the cigarette tells a story.

solodad300 says:

As much as I love the sense of refined elegance and lines in her posture and hands, and I do, it is the contrast with the little man and his fashion that puts this into another category.

I can see a few TINY things that bug me about this like the digital artifacts around the end of the cigarette and there is a slight grainyness to this image - but I guess I am liking that more than not Overall - I think it's very unique - the colours are awesome and I like the crop.

I like the idea, but still needs some work imo. I would like if the cigarette stood out more and if there was not funky photoshoppery around it.

alphadesigner says:

i like the uncropped version, and having already seen it and faved it, i feel very weird looking at this, because here you emphasize on the leg and the hand, which is more like a cliche... in the uncropped shot the woman's head is turned to the right, there is that wind behind her and that man that comes from the background suddenly becomes and addition to some kind of statement.

i don't see that here. you killed your image.

solodad300 says:

Red is now a cliched color. Damn, I need to remember that.
To make it easier on me can anyone point me to a list of the approved non-cliche colors. I'm lost without it. Are women primarily wearing aqua-green lipstick or something? Is red the new brown? So many questions...
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

Tsjeu says:

bad news solodad: it's not just the red , it's the buena vista social club cuban processing, and the hand with the cigarette, the lamppost, the zebra, and the red dress: a computer could generate this image if you eneterd a few key words. ;)
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

moxyminx says:

Great color and saturation. Is this E-6 cross processing? I've always loved the effect of cross processing.
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

solodad300 says:

I'm just tired of cliched answers. I really don't care if you like the shot or not but when you start stating that certain colors are cliche...I wanna know more.
Oh, and by the way, since you made the claim, could you please show me an example of a computer generating what you stated. I'm the curious type and that kind of search or program would be very interesting to learn more about.
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

Tsjeu says:

Since you insist on limiting my remark about the colours to the red dress, I'll show you this:
-- from Paula Wirth - (?)
hoping that that I will not have to spell everything out to you. (probably you''ll insist on that anyway because chances are you're just trying to be a pain in the ass.)

My comment was not a cliché at all. The combination of elements in this image, all the way down to the processing and the cigarette etc. is something the collective copywrtiting commercial mind comes up with every five minutes, because it thinks that's what people like you want. That's the computer you want, no need to go and write the software.

Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

solodad300 says:

Tsjeu
Perhaps it's time that you tell your wife to throw away all those little red dresses and underthings and lipstick and maybe all the black ones too because, despite our predispositions, you are immune to them and deem them cliche. "Yo bitch, you haulin' out that red (or black) shit again! Damn, can you buy a clue?"
You claimed I was picking on just the color in your remark yet you showed a picture unsimilar to the one being judged sheerly because it had a red dress in it. Maybe I was wrong originally...are you saying pictures that include red DRESSES are cliche?

collects them for the covers? haha. everybody says so.

The colours are very vivid. The red is a good contrast against the rest of the image. It's an interesting shot. I would have liked to have seen the cigarette enhanced a bit more so it stands out. Nevertheless, I like the way the image was composed and thinks is a image that is worthy to be...

solodad300 says:

Getting a clearer picture now. If you'd like to submit to DM please realize that some here firmly believe that smoking is bad for your photograph... and red dresses too.
Some DM regulars really enjoy being coy in a way that reminds me of the chemically imbalanced. Just wait, one day soon, one of them will submit a shot with a smoker's hand and a red 'something' may be in the frame but all the rules they are defining now? Out the window. It may be Tsjeu, doubtful Corgi, but it will happen. And then? The choice of red or dress or cigarette will be INSPIRED. ABSOLUTELY INSPIRED I tell you!

alphadesigner says:

i disagree, they really practise what they preach. most of the men there don't sleep with girls, most of the girls spend a lot of time in front of the mirror plucking their eyebrows, so they are really sincere telling you that smoking causes cancer in CCDs. It can even disrupt Jpeg compression.

Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

Tsjeu says:

Some people can't read, and can't think. They never understand what you tell them, yet they try to make you believe that it's deliberate, because they disagree with you. When all fails they claim it's a question of humour. Usually they do indeed have a constant smile on their face. Often you see them in public parks, feeding the ducks and drooling from one corner of their mouth.
